This has been on my list for a while. My friend & I finally tried it out last week & I'm still thinking about that burger! Typically, I'm not a fan of double cheeseburgers but this was delicious, it wasn't too much. I loved the jalapeños on the burger and the Beef Tallow Fries hit the spot. Be sure to get Chipotle Ketchup for dipping, it's such a good flavor. Staff were friendly & attentive. I had a QR coupon that just wouldn't work but they honored it anyway. I would recommend this spot to anyone in the area looking for a simple, good burger. The menu is very straightforward with one burger allowing for modifications. NADC is located inside the Latta Arcade. It was my first time in the Arcade, so I'm not sure if it's usually hot or if the AC wasn't working, but it was stifling in there! Because we weren't familiar with the area, we stayed & ate inside the restaurant instead of taking it to go, but be prepared in the event that it's just that hot. Parking is always an issue in Charlotte but we were lucky enough to get street parking a block away. If you don't want to wait for parking or circle around there were plenty of parking garages for a fee. read more

NADC Burger - Burgers Near Me - Charlotte, North Carolina

A little pricey but you take one bite and go, "Oh, that's why." Pretty cramped little space but I love the vibe. Service was quick and friendly. Only one burger option which I kind of like. The thought of getting NADC Burger is synonymous with the restaurant and the food. I travel to Charlotte for work a couple of times a year so I'm glad I found another place that's worth going back to. read more

A classic smash burger. The patties are thin, crispy around the edges, and good flavor. The special sauce ties everything together, and the pickles + jalapeños add a tang without overpowering the burger. Simple menu. fast service. cool mural on the wall. Went during happy hour so everything came together as a meal versus à la carte. Would come back when I'm craving a straightforward, flavorful smash burger read more

NADC Burger - NADC Burger - Burgers Near Me - Charlotte, North Carolina

I have been waiting for NADC to open up and I finally stopped in. Because I missed the grand opening rush, I didn't have to wait. Ordering was simple because they only offer one burger, fries regular or monster style, and drinks. I got a burger and monster fries to go and they packaged them good. I enjoyed the burger, the meat was tender and flavorful. The fries were good too, cheesy and the jalapeño added a nice kick. This is in uptown (1), and in The Alley (2)... both expensive options so the price I paid for this meal reflected that. $25 for a burger and fries (no drink) was steep. I wouldn't rush back when I can get a healthier meal for less, but I am glad I tried it. read more

I'm so glad there is another food option in the alley. I've been here for lunch a bunch of times now and luckily they are also open for dinner so I've been able to bring dinner home as well. Service is great and I like that you can order ahead online. Burgers are good, I love the quality of the meat they use. Burgers are a little small for the price but otherwise I love them. read more

NADC Burger - Burgers Near Me - Charlotte, North Carolina

NADC is the newest addition to the Latta Arcade which has been rebranded as The Alley but personally I'm not a fan of that name. A little research showed me that they have a few other locations throughout the country in cities such as Denver, Austin, and Chicago, and they are actually a collaboration between a professional skateboarder and his friend the chef which is pretty cool. Now the burger was great, a quality smash burger for sure. That being said the price of $16.00 for a burger of only a modest size, not including any drinks or sides is too steep. I understand that running a restaurant can come with some strict margins and pricing isn't always something that can be controlled, but I just can't justify spending that much money on a burger for lunch when there are other options nearby. I hope at some point they are able to come down on price, as I really did enjoy the burger. read more

It's very hard to find, but it's very much worth it. The food is believable and the service is great. The inside is small and really nothing to write home about, but it doesn't diminish the fact that it's a really good burger and it's done right. read more

The burger was pretty good but was a lot smaller than I anticipated for the price. I'm not a big fan of standard meal options only; meaning I would love to be able to add simple toppings to my burger (like lettuce & tomato). The burger is pretty good tho. I asked for no pickle but still had pickle on mine it was still very good with them tho. The fries are solid & both house sauces are good too. read more

Charlotte's got a new burger joint with some serious buzz.. NADC Burger. The brand arrives with some serious street cred - born from an unlikely collab between a pro skateboarder and a Michelin-trained chef. It's pitched as a fusion of skate culture and fine-dining beef, think wagyu on a brioche bun meets grip tape and graffiti. I ordered the NADC Burger "all the way" with a side of Beast Mode Fries and took in the scene. The place looks great. The soundtrack (RIP Biggie) hit right, the skateboards on the wall gave the space a gritty-cool vibe, and the energy felt equal parts burger bar and skate shop.. but the excitement started to fade the moment I opened my bag. For $16, I expected the NADC Burger to either twice the size or half the price. I get it (wagyu isn't cheap) but the difference was barely noticeable, and the flavor didn't quite justify the cost. The burger was fine (because, honestly, most burgers are inherently good), but for all the buildup.. Michelin pedigree, skate legend backing, social media buzz.. I was looking for great, and it just didn't deliver. It's like the Charlotte location caught the brand's reputation, but not the brand's soul. The Beast Mode Fries were solid(ish).. crispy, twice-fried, dressed up with sauce and jalapeños but still landed in middle management territory. The so-called "secret sauce" tasted suspiciously like thousand island, and at this point, I wish we'd all just call it what it is. That said, it still worked. If I go back (which, spoiler: I probably won't), I'd probably skip the upgrade and go for plain fries. The surprise MVP, the ketchup. Yes, the ketchup. It had this unexpected Cajun-spice kick that instantly stole the show. Tangy, peppery, and way more interesting than the main event. I gave it five stars on the spot. When the highlight of your $25 lunch is the condiment, that's saying something. All in all, my trip to NADC Burger was a letdown.. not terrible, just overall mid. For a concept built on street-culture grit and culinary credibility, the Charlotte outpost felt more like it was riding hype than delivering substance. Tbh, it reminded me why I keep advocating for locals to support Charlotte-born brands instead. Van Leeuwen opened and it's... meh, go to SWIRL instead. Pop Up Bagels? Fine, but hit Jeff's Bagel Run instead. Now we've got NADC... and my advice? Go to Surefire. NADC stands for "Not A Damn Chance." If you ask whether I'm going back... or whether they'll still be around a year from now? My answer: Not A Damn Chance. read more

Not A Damn Chance Burger. Yup, that's the actual name of the spot. And honestly, there's not a damn chance I'm not talking about it after that burger I just had. I was hosted for this meal, but trust me, my taste buds don't lie. This joint took over the old Crisp build-your-own salad bar spot inside the Alley formerly known as Latta Arcade. Don't worry, salad fans...Crisp didn't die. They just moved a few feet over into the courtyard, where they can toss their kale in peace while the rest of us are over here smashing Wagyu. NADC is owned by pro skater Neen Williams, who apparently can also land tricks on a flat-top grill. This burger is so good it should have its own highlight reel. When you step into NADC, the smell of sizzling Wagyu launches at you like a skateboard aimed at a ramp someone definitely shouldn't have built. It clings to your hoodie, your hair, your soul. By the time you get home, you'll smell like you just filmed a Jackass special titled Beefed Up. The interior leans skate-shop-meets-burger-joint with red metal chairs, cheeky art on the walls, and a mural that looks like a cheeseburger monster is about to stage dive. The music is loud, the energy is casual, and the vibe is very much "come as you are, leave smelling like beef." The menu is refreshingly uncomplicated. One burger (or two if you count the kids' cheeseburger), fries (plain or Beast Mode), and a cookie for dessert. * NADC Burger: $16, two 3 oz patties of 100% Wagyu beef * Fries: $5 plain or $8 Beast Mode * Cookie: $4 They claim their NADC Burger is two 3 oz smash patties. Like most smash burger places, they claim a smash burger but fail to completely smash the burger into the flattop for that crispy lacy sear where you technically need a paint scraper to pull it off. This one didn't have those lacy crispy edges either, but honestly, I didn't even care. It was perfectly seasoned, juicy, and hit every taste bud. The potato bun was toasted to perfection with actual grill marks, but not overdone. The burger comes stacked with "tamed jalapeños," American cheese, secret sauce, grilled onions, and pickles. Normally jalapeños are my personal villain origin story, but the cashier gave me the "don't even try it" look and reassured me they were as mild as dill pickles. She wasn't lying. They added the perfect crunch and flavor. The meat-to-topping ratio? A+ science fair project levels of balance. The fries are double fried in beef tallow and perfectly crisped, not a limp one to be found. I ordered Beast Mode, which means they're covered in cheese, special sauce, tamed jalapeño relish, and seasoning. Tasty? Yes. Life-changing? Not exactly. You'll survive with the regular fries dipped in their seasoned ketchup. The cookie is $4. It's house-made cookie dough, but I'd skip it unless you're deep in your feelings and need something sweet to cry into. It's not bad, just a little overbaked for my Cookie Monster-level obsession. And listen, I used to run a late-night cookie delivery business in college, so I've basically got a PhD in cookies. This one didn't pass the final exam. They've got zero loyalty to any major soda brands. No fountain drinks here. Your options: Boylan Bottling Company sodas, Liquid Death mountain water, or Cheerwine. I went with the Boylan Cream Soda because I'm a simple man with excellent taste. You can also grab a draft beer for $8 or a bottle for $6. This NADC Burger might just be top-tier in Charlotte, and I don't say that lightly. I even dragged Chef Erick out of his kitchen to try it. When the man took a bite, he did a little dance. So yeah, the "NADC Burger Dance" is officially born. If you try it, post a video and tag me on IG @charlottefoodieguy. Let's make it a thing. Lunchtime crowds are going to be wild, and Uptown parking is, well...Uptown parking. Sorry vegetarians, there's no plant-based option here. But if you're in the Alley and want to eat well, slide over to Pie in the Sky Pizza for a solid New York-style slice. Want more legit Charlotte food spots without the fluff? I made a guide.

Horrible gastronomic experience. First of all no "hello welcome to your most expensive burger experience" or any kind of welcome. Secondly; I really think the "wagu" thing needs to be looked into. Burger was slightly bigger than a White Castle. Special Fries were horrible and the special ketchup was horrible. NADC I'll go back!! read more

Twenty dollars for a BURGER! Caters for those of us that have more dollars than sense! Really not that better...'bout the same as "Dairi-O" or "Five Guys"! There's better burgers out there at a lower price point! Families or the working person will leave with a slight bitter taste! read more

6/ 10 experience, they were out of cheese when we came so I added the cheese when I got home. Fries were good but I didn't enjoy their ketchup or the secret sauce. The burger was good and juicy. The cashier was nice and let us know ahead of time that they were out of cheese . Over 30 min wait for the burger but no line at the time that we came. read more

Was visiting the area from Tennessee we could smell the restaurant from outside the shopping area where its located so had to check it out. Great food and awesome atmosphere. The burger was juicy and amazing and the fries were crispy and delicious. You can tell its quality ingredients. The staff were courteous and respectful and checked on us and were genuinely interested in our experience and making it the best they could. Would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for one of the best burgers around. read more

ABSOLUTELY THE WORST CUSTOMER SERVICE EVER. SHOCKING. My experience at NADC Burgers was extremely disappointing due to the completely unprofessional behavior of one staff member. I had just started placing my order with the cashier when a second woman (the person with braided hair, who I later understood to be the General Manager) inserted herself into the conversation. When I politely asked her to kindly step back so I could finish my transaction with the cashier and place my order, she flatly refused. She then promptly told me, "since she was starting to irritate me, just leave." I reiterated my request, asking, "Why can't you just step away so I can finish having my conversation and place my order?" She refused again. I was not yelling, screaming, or being disrespectful in any manner--I simply did not want to have a conversation with her. This individual's reaction, her refusal to disengage, and her decision to tell a customer to leave rather than grant a simple, polite request is a drastic failure in customer service. It appears she views a customer's preference not to speak with her as being "against store policy." The General Manager is in desperate need of immediate and comprehensive Customer Service training. This review comes from someone who holds a ServSafe Certification and has personally won special recognition for Outstanding Customer Service skills. NADC, you need to do better. read more

Best burger I've ever had. Big foodie. It's $16 for the burger and $8 for the loaded fries. Not that big of a deal when you consider it's from a Michelin star chef and a pro skateboarder that grew a large following from his food and spices. read more
